A case of the rare and non‐neoplastic lesion, giant cell reaction of bone, is described. The pathological and radiological features of this lesion are reviewed and an aetiological mechanism is proposed to account for its unique histopathological features. Recognition of this lesion and its non‐neoplastic nature are important so as to avoid surgical ablation of the affected bone.
